Nike launched .SWOOSH on January 25, 2023. It is a community-based Web3 platform that allows creators to co-create content to better enhance the ecosystem. The .SWOOSH launch was done with a roadmap to onboard several digital content creators. .SWOOSH was first announced in November 2022 and it has been undergoing the testing process since then.
The project gives Nike a chance to build an effective team for the future. .SWOOSH allows members to purchase digital goods, including, but not limited to, jerseys and shoes. However, it largely remains a space where creators can express themselves via innovation.
Not just the community but .SWOOSH received support from industry leaders as well. For instance, Mihailo Bjelic expressed a warm welcome by retweeting the announcement and sharing that it has been built on Polygon.
Moving forward, .SWOOSH aims to continue educating the community about Web3 and NFTs while keeping them safe within the ecosystem. The closed beta version will conclude after all the features have been released in a phased manner.
